It's utterly stupid when you think about it. Who drops $400-$600 on a console without researching it. Do you people not know how to use the internet? Do you just impulsively drop cash on gaming hardware under the impression that a flow of great games that fit your tastes will stream to it?

I don't make the purchase until there is enough games already out that I want to play to warrant the price. There is no reason to get a console early.

"ugh i bought a PS3 for $600 because of FF13, and now it's multiplat!!!! wtf!!!!"

um, FF13 will be released when the PS3 is half the price. nice.

Some people buy systems for games they want, but those games don't last forever...

It's either what BioShockOwnz said, or they're just claiming they own it.

People are either too lazy or not intelligent enough to do research before making a purchase.

Although I'm happy with the Wii's library the main reason I brought it on launch was for LOZ:TP, sure I loved the hell out of that game but it was until MP:3 8 months later that the next 'big' game came. So I guess people like me who brought the Wii for TP and nothing until MP:3 cos there wasn't really anything to great until then have the right to complain a bit if they want. But people buying systems now like I did with my PS3 and then complain about it's library (I don't) need to just shut up cos like people have said before should have done more research on the system before buying it.

I didn't buy my PS3 until June of this year. I really don't see how there was anything that was worth the purchase of one before MGS4, but to each their own.

My 360 has a great library, but I'm utterly sick of it being flooded with crappy shooter after crappy shooter. I want more games like Fable 2 and Dead Space.

Better question. Why do people buy a system then complain about the AAA/AAAE/AAAAE games on another system?

simple answer. 3/4 of the people that say stuff like "ugh i bought a PS3 for $600 because of FF13, and now it's multiplat!!!! wtf!!!!" most likey don't actually own the console. They are just trolling.

I only buy a system when there is a game that i must absolute positively get.

In my case it was Halo 3 last year.

Totally agree. That's why I don't have a PS3 yet. It's getting close, but still not enough exclusives I like to warrant a purchase at this time. I stopped buying into the hype that's everywhere in the gameworld.

Wii is the only one I complain about. Nintendo has some great franchises, and with Metroid Prime, Super Mario, SSBB...who could resist? I thought this trend would keep up, but now I havent touched my Wii in ages, and when I do, its like a board game, take it out play a few hours then dont touch it for 4-6 months.

It's hard to research a console when it's releasing especially when the games announced on it are flopping like the PS3 games were last year.

The Wii was also a very hard console to research. Who would have thought that Nintendo wouldn't have a single AA game on the Wii in the last 6 months? If you said that last year at this time when the sheep enjoyed the Mario Galaxy praise then they would have laughed at you.

I can agree that it's stupid to buy a console today and then complain that the games released on it so far is dissapointing but you should be allowed to change your mind about it if it changes in the future to the worse.
